The National Development and Reform Commission (NDRC) (simplified Chinese: 国家发展和改革委员会; traditional Chinese: 國家發展和改革委員會; pinyin: Guójiā Fāzhǎn hé Gǎigé Wěiyuánhuì, or in short Chinese: 国家发改委), formerly State Planning Commission and State Development Planning Commission, is a macroeconomic management agency under the Chinese State Council, which has broad administrative and planning control over the Chinese economy. Since 2008 the Commission has been headed by Zhang Ping.
The NDRC's functions are to study and formulate policies for economic and social development, maintain the balance of economic development, and to guide restructuring of China's economic system.[1] The NDRC has twenty-six functional departments/bureaus/offices with an authorized staff size of 890 civil servants.

The NDRC is a successor to the State Planning Commission (SPC), which had managed China's centrally planned economy since 1952. In 1998, the SPC was renamed as the State Development Planning Commission (SDPC), which then merged with the State Council Office for Restructuring the Economic System (SCORES) and part of the State Economic and Trade Commission (SETC) in 2003. Since then the organization further shifted its policy from plan economy to socialist market economy. The restructured organization was then merged into a newly created NDRC, which gained greater responsibility and power in overseeing China's economic development.
The principal functions of the NDRC are:[2]

China’s energy management is being transferred from the National Development and Reform Commission (NDRC) to the new National Energy Bureau (NEB; 国家能源局), with hopes that this will reform China’s highly dispersed energy management. The new bureau will integrate the NDRC's functions on energy management, the functions of the National Energy Leading Group and the nuclear power management of the Commission of Science, Technology and Industry for National Defense.[5][6]
